If the law is passed, the Taliban will no longer be referred to as a “terrorist movement” or a “prohibited organization in Russia.”
The corresponding bill was submitted to the State Duma by a group of deputies and senators.
This announcement came after a meeting on Monday, November 25, between the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergey Shoigu and the Vice Prime Minister of Afghanistan Abdul Ghani Baradar.
According to media controlled by the Taliban, Shoigu assured the Afghan authorities that the Russian government is “in the final stage of excluding” the Taliban from the list of prohibited organizations in Russia.
According to the initiative of the State Duma deputies, the ban on the activities of organizations recognized as terrorist in Russia may be temporarily suspended if a corresponding decision is made by a Russian court based on a statement from the Attorney General or his deputy.
It was previously reported that the decision to exclude the “Taliban” from the list of terrorist organizations has been made at the highest level. It was noted that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with the FSB and other Russian agencies, is “completing the legal work” on this process.
